Review in VideoGIE : an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) Methods: A 21-year-old woman with HIV (cluster of differentiation 4 count 8/μL) presented with chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and hypoalbuminemia. Upper endoscopy revealed severe duodenal villous atrophy and mucosal scalloping. Subsequent capsule endoscopy captured progressive mucosal changes extending into the distal jejunum and ileum, including pseudo-Whipple's disease nodularity. Diagnosis was confirmed by histology and polymerase chain reaction. A systematic review of 18 adult GI MAC cases with endoscopic documentation was performed to identify consistent visual patterns. Results: Multimodal imaging revealed a continuum of pathology not previously captured in this detail. Literature synthesis showed that duodenojejunal nodularity, villous atrophy, and scalloping were the most common findings. On the basis of these patterns, we propose a 9-point MAC Suspicion Score to prompt early diagnostic consideration in high-risk patients. Conclusions: This case exemplifies how advanced endoscopic imaging can reveal subtle but diagnostic features of GI MAC and support a structured recognition strategy in severely immunocompromised hosts.
